Medline medical procedure kits recalled for catheter defects and connector detachment risk
What this means
Medline identified quality issues in several medical procedure kit models during an internal review. The kits contained catheters with surface irregularities, connectors that could detach prematurely from the catheter funnel, and in some cases catheters with dimensions outside acceptable specifications.
- Check your Medline kit against the recalled lot numbers and SKU numbers listed in the FDA notice.
- Do not use recalled kits. Contact your healthcare facility or supplier about replacement.
- Report any adverse events or injuries related to these kits to the FDA MedWatch program.
The agency's original wording
During an internal review, Medline identified representative samples did not meet applicable performance specifications. Identified issues include irregularities in catheter surface finish, instances where the catheter connector detached prematurely from the catheter funnel, and limited cases where the catheter outer diameter did not meet specification.
